Site preparations

The N2200-ON Series switch is suitable for installation as part of a common bond network (CBN).

You can install the switch in:

• Network telecommunication facilities

• Data centers

• Other locations where the National Electric Code (NEC) applies

NOTE: Install the switch into a rack or cabinet before installing any additional components such as cables or optics.

Topics:

• Site selection

• Cabinet placement

• Rack mounting

• Switch ground

• Fans and airflow

• Power

• Storing components

Site selection

Install the switch equipment in restricted access areas.

A restricted access area is one in which service personnel can only gain access using a special tool, lock, key or other means of security.

The authority responsible for the location controls access to the restricted area.

Ensure that the area where you install your switch meets the following safety requirements:

• Near an adequate power source. Connect the switch to the appropriate branch circuit protection according to your local electrical

codes.

• Switch environmental temperature range is from 0° to 45°C (32° to 113°F).

• Relative humidity is from 5 to 95 percent (RH), noncondensing.

• In a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and temperature-controlled room, away from heat sources such as hot air vents or direct sunlight

• Away from sources of severe electromagnetic noise.

• Inside the restricted access area, positioned in a rack or cabinet, or on a desktop with adequate space in the front, back, and sides for

proper ventilation and access

• Install the switch in Information Technology Rooms in accordance with Article 645 of the National Electrical Code and NFPA 75.

For more information about switch storage and environmental temperatures, see Specifications.

Cabinet placement

Install the N2200-ON Series switch only in indoor cabinets that are designed for use in a controlled environment.

Do not install the switch in outside cabinets. For cabinet placement requirements, see Site selection.

The cabinet must meet minimum size requirements. Airflow must be in accordance with the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) standard.

Ensure that there is a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) between the intake and exhaust vents and the cabinet wall.

Rack mounting

When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is grounded.

Ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service in your area uses. The ground path must be permanent.

Site preparations 17

Switch ground

Dell EMC recommends you ground your switch. Use the N2200-ON Series switch in a common bond network (CBN).

Connect the grounding cables as described in N2200-ON Series switch installation.

NOTE: For an AC-powered switch, although the third conductor of the AC power cable provides a ground path, Dell

EMC recommends grounding your switch with a dedicated ground wire.

NOTE: For a DC-powered switch, the only way to safely ground your switch is to attach a dedicated ground wire. The

ground lug kit ships in a plastic bag that is placed with the other accessories inside the shipping box. To ground your

switch, first attach the ground lug to the switch using the screws. Then attach the DC ground wire to the ground lug.

Fans and airflow

The N2200-ON Series switch fans support two airflow options: normal and reverse.

NOTE: Reverse airflow is only supported on the N2224X-ON and N2248X-ON AC switches.

Fan combinations

Fan installation is completed as part of the factory install based on stock keeping unit (SKU) type. The N2200-ON Series switch has SKUs

that support the following configurations:

• AC or DC PSU with fan airflow from the I/O to the PSU—the red indicator on the handle is the normal airflow direction.

• AC PSU with fan airflow from the PSU to the I/O—the blue indicator on the handle is the reverse airflow direction.

Order the fans suitable to support the ventilation at your site. Use a single type of airflow fan in your switch. Do not mix reverse and

normal airflows in a single N2200-ON Series switch.

For proper ventilation, position the switch in an equipment rack or cabinet with a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance around the

exhaust vents. When you install two N2200-ON switches near each other, to permit proper airflow, position the two switches at least 5

inches (12.7 cm) apart. The fan speed varies based on internal temperature monitoring. The N2200-ON Series switch never intentionally

turns off the fans.

For more information, see Fans.

Power

To connect the switch to the applicable power source, use the appropriate power cable. An AC power cable is included with each PSU. If

you optionally order DC PSUs, they ship with a DC power cable.

When installing AC or DC switches, follow the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, where applicable.
